The Union Syndicale Solidaires launched this Monday a call for a “renewable strike” starting on March 7 “in all sectors” against the pension reform project considered “useless, unfair and brutal.”
The inter-union (CFDT, CGT, FO, CFE-CGC, CFTC, Unsa, Solidaires, FSU) called on Saturday “to make Tuesday, March 7, a ‘paralyzed France’ day”, recall the two Solidaires co-delegates. Simon Duteil and Murielle Guilbert in a press release.
“We can win the pension battle”
“For us, in concrete terms, it is a day of general strike that should allow the support of the entire population for the mobilization, they continue. We believe that we can win the battle for pensions,” they add, believing that for this it is necessary “to increase the balance of power to force the government” to withdraw the bill.
“We propose to all workers, from the public and private sectors, to debate in general assemblies the possibility of resuming the strike as of March 7 according to the modalities of each sector, with inventiveness and determination,” adds Solidaridad.
On Saturday, the number one of the CFDT Laurent Berger had indicated that behind the call to “paralyze” France on March 7, it was about “meeting in front of companies, operations of ghost towns” and not being “in the logic of the renewable strike”.
“The question of renewal is not decided at the level of the union centrals, but in companies and services,” said Philippe Martinez for the CGT.
